My dog is a real 'chewer'! Is this cover tough enough to take puppy chewing without ripping?

I think you need to look at the more durable beds. It is instinct for a puppy to chew "anything". This bed is soft and comfortable, but could not withstand chewing. Good luck, puppies are worth it;)

I wouldn't say so. It's soft and would be fairly easy for him to get a whole in it I think

nope.. my puppy, a Havanese, chewed the heck out of it in one week... threw it away

My doggy is a chewer and when the urge to chew his bed came upon him on a dark and stormy night, he had this thing ripped up in no time. He did like it though.

I don't think it will survive being chewed. That said, my blue heeler destroys all stuffed toys but does not chew her bed which is soft like a stuffed toy.

Yes it is pretty durable, walking on it is just fine. They can chew it or claw at it... our dog tried digging it and ended up making chunks come off but if he didn't do that it would be fine.

Yes! I have a weimaraner who loves to tear apart any toy he has. He loves hard runbery things and this is his favorite toy. We have replaced ours once... because he lost it in the back yard. He had it for over 6 months and hadn't put a dent with it. If your dog does manage to tear this toy apart, the company will replace it for life for free.

I do not think so. The cover is very strong and a heavy weave fabric is not chewing. One of our dogs tends to chew but that kind of the fabric she is not chewing anyway.

Yes! I own a pitbull and she chews it for hours. She leaves little teeth marks on it but it's strong enough that she can't tear it apart. We have had it for 2 weeks now and still no damage to the ball

It seems to be a heavy duty canvas. In addition, there is a faux sheepskin with a flexible piece of plastic? to keep it flat. It's not for a dog that tears at their surroundings, but it's worked really well for me. My dog dislikes other dogs and she has hopped all around in it when she has seen one and everything is still in tact, so it's somewhat durable. Hope this helps.

My dog uses the bed regularly and tends to use his paws to settle in and dig at it a bit to get it "just right". It hasn't ripped yet several months in. Not sure how sharp your dog's nails are though, but I would guess your pretty safe.

My dog paws at it and does not puncture it. It's not canvas, but I would rate it as fairly durable. I'd go with a canvas cover instead if your dog is tough on material. I'm very pleased overall with the bed.

It is not a "soft" chew, but it breaks apart VERY easily. My 12 year old puppy can easily chew it and my 8 year old puppy pretty much swallows it whole :o).

Patsy, Yes it is! We have a HUGE Lab & he chews it constantly no rips or tears.. We also bought him the Kong Extreme Goodie Bone/ Large/Red, Kong Extreme Treat Ball/Large/Red & the Kong Extreme Dog Toy/Large/red. He cannot destroy them! I hope this helps! Good luck!

It seems very durable. The Velcro portion is extremely strong. Our dog is now 8 months old, and he plays with it often. He has not ripped it apart.

I have a 75lb lab/ridgeback mix and he is very active pup. It has held up great so far. No rips or tears, and no bending in the legs of the frame. Ours is very well made. I don't know if that helps, just my experience.

I have a 5 month old dane. I ordered this a few months ago and while it's certainly chewed and not "pretty" it is fully functional and while she has chewed it she has not gotten off any chunks or anything for me to have concern that she could choke or swallow any bits, it's just rough with logs of teeth / chew marks.

No but it's a great bed. Check the video online where a dog (pit bull?) tries for about 25 minutes to rip or chew the bed. He can't make a dent in it. We've had ours for about 1 year and after a scrub down it looks like new. Wouldn't buy any other dog bed...especially for a dog like ours who chews.

yes, it will hold up, unless your dog is actually a chomping rascally puppy..............

I would say it is tougher than any other dog bed. If your dog is intent on shredding it, that I'm sure it can be done. I don't think it's design appeals to chewers...just my opinion, but the material is attached in a way that would make it difficult to get their mouth on. Its a pretty tough & thick material anyway..and doesn't have a single snag, rip, or tear after my dog has trig to "dig" in it. She has never tried to chew on this..surprisingly enough, since she has shredded every blanket, bed, and pillow I've ever given her!

Just washed the cover yesterday and it held up great. My dog is 66lbs american bulldog and he scratches the crap outta the thing and no tears. At leasy not yet. The bed itself is amazing btw. He loves it. Id recommend it.. Good luck
